Review: Intense Uzzi Pro Build

Review: Intense Uzzi Pro Build

Simon Peterson

Taking freeride mountain biking back to the future, Intense has re-introduced the Uzzi with vamped-up components and a 27.5-inch wheelbase that adds to its outstanding versatility. The Uzzi is designed as a long-travel bike for super-enduro and park riding; however, it’s much more than that. The Uzzi climbs singletrack like an all-mountain bike, but has 190mm of rear travel, a 180mm single-crown fork, and a slack head-tube angle around 65 degrees, making it well-equipped to dominate all types of burly terrain on the downhill. Besides plush suspension and adjustable geometry, the Uzzi features a hydro-formed aluminum frame, a 1x11 drivetrain, virtual pivot-point configuration, and excellent craftsmanship, making it perhaps the most versatile freeride bike to date. Available at Owenhouse Cycling. $6,000; intensecycles.com.
